Ending Clear Text Protocols
Posted by Jeff H. on December 09, 2008
We spend a lot of time and money trying to keep our systems secure.

We remind users to choose good passwords and keep their systems free from viruses. If we are diligent, we check for new security patches frequently and carefully monitor our systems for signs of mischief. Despite these efforts, we often let clear text protocols slip into the mix of our internet operations and possibly compromise all of our efforts.
